N. Patterson, Normal, H.: The meeting of
80 comrades, members of the SOD Ohio at the
| National Eneampment at st. Louis, after a
separation of % years, was pleasure which
none other than those who from 1861 to 1865
who breasted shot and shell can appreciate.
| 1t was, indeed, feast almost beyond descrip-
ton. Comrades coming as they did from
| long distances, not expecting perhaps to meet
| more than one or two members of the old COM
mand, yet willing to sacrifice the time, expense
and possibly many Inconvenience in order to
meet one or two of the original number of the
| old ed, proves conclusively the warm feeling
| that swells beneath the breasts of comrades,
| one to another Our meeting was indeed gen.
uine treat as well as a blessing to many of US,
as it binds more closely the ties already exist
| ing between US as comrades one and all who
/ in time of great peril stood shoulder to shoulder
/ in defense of our country. / would be pleased
/ if every member of the old 32d Ohio would
send me their addresses and company, that a
more complete Roster may be perfected, and
/ that we may from now on work together in
| perfecting plans for the next and largest Re-
union that we have ever held, which we hope
to bring about at Columbus, o., at the next
National Encanpment. Those of US present at
| st. Louis perfected an organization to be known
as the Left Wing or Western Branch of the
SD Ohio regimental organization.
The survivors of the 114th Ohio held Re-
union at Circleville recently. The next Re-
union will be held at Washington @. H., the
date to be fixed later. The officers for the en-
suing year are as follows: President, Col. H.
